Anybody ever heard of a professor named Shigley from Michigan who was supposed to have been an "Indiana Jones" type world traveler and owned one of the largest baseball/tobacco card collections ever known? I read about the guy in one of the first Tuff Stuff magazines back in the early 80s. As I recall, it said he also collected artifacts, coins, stamps and weird stuff like locks of hair (George Washington, etc.) The reason I'm asking is that a friend from Pennsylvania emailed me and said that the guy's grandson is going to be selling the baseball card collection one card at a time on eBay and the cards were never graded and will be sold raw. Anyone know something about this?
I think I'll be keeping a close eye on eBay
